Prima Home Test Helicobacter Pylori Stomach Tester Description

GASTRIC DISORDER PREVENTION

HELICOBACTER PYLORI TEST
Check the presence of an infection caused by the Helicobacter pylori bacterium.
The antibodies against Helicobacter pylori are usually absent in people who have never contracted that infection.

INDICATED FOR:
All of us.

WHY SHOULD I PERFORM THE TEST?
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori grows in the gastric mucosa, where it can damage it to the point of causing stomach ulcers. The associated disturbances are gastritis and burning sensation in the stomach, even if more than 50% of the infections are without symptoms. This infection can be treated easily with specific antibiotics (which are prescribed by your doctor).

Checking the presence of antibodies against Helicobacter pylori is a very good tool for verifying our own health status and eventually taking the required preventive actions. In fact, an untreated infection can increase the probability of developing stomach cancer.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The test works by using an immunology reaction that verifies the presence of specific antibodies against Helicobacter pylori.
1) The sample is a blood drop taken with the painless sterile lancet contained in the box.
2) Obtain a big drop of blood by squeezing the finger.
3) Put the drop of blood on the indicated point on the device.
4) Add the diluent, wait for 10 minutes and read the result.

CONTENT: 1 sealed aluminum pouch containing: 1 device for the test and desiccant, 1 dropper vial containing 0.5 ml of diluent, 1 painless sterile lancet for blood sampling, instructions for use.
